KA-BAR Black Tanto Knife -
The Tanto blade shape, of Asian influence, has a thick pointed blade that's good for penetration. Coupled with a glass filled nylon sheath this knife is designed for the toughest of tasks.

Serrated Blade -
A serrated blade has a cutting edge that has many small points of contact with the material being cut. By having less contact area than a smooth blade, the applied force at each point of contact is relatively greater and the points of contact are at a sharper angle to the material being cut.

Tanto Blade -
This knife blade was inspired by the shape of the Japanese sword blades. The point to this style blade is in line with the spine of the blade. The tanto has a reinforced point which is thick and strong and is good for heavy duty stabbing cuts.

1095 Steel -
This knife is easy to sharpen, plain carbon steel used in knife making. It's proven to be one of the most popular steels used in KA-BAR knives.

Kraton G Thermoplastic Elastomer -
Referred to simply as Kraton, is a man made material resembling rubber that can be molded into knife handles. Knife provides a non slip grip.

Glass Filled Nylon -
Material used to make sheaths. Nylon is reinforced with glass particles and other materials to provide strength and durability while still allowing some flexibility.

Hollow Ground -
The ground surface of the blade is concave and used to create a fine cutting edge.

5.0 Rating BIG, but nice knife - 5/10/2012KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: tibbs
Literally JUST got this knife in the mail and I am impressed. It came razor sharp out of the box and just feels completely solid in the hand. It is a little bigger than I expected, but I was looking for a big knife, so I can't complain. The only concern that I am having is the sheath. It is really hard to snap and unsnap the straps, but they might break in. Who knows. I will probably cut them since the knife locks in the sheath anyway. The sheath itself is extremely long and seems like it might be tough to fit on my vest, but I will figure it out. All in all, fantastic knife. If you are looking for a full size knife, you cannot go wrong with this Ka-Bar. USA made all the way!
5.0 Rating Ka-Bar is amazing - 5/3/2012KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: 1 free man
This knife is amazing. The rigid plastic sheath is extremely durable. The two safety straps and knife safety notch are a bit excessive. You could skydive safely with all the straps on this sheath and not worry about losing the knife. Bottom line: this knife is the best I've ever purchased. I will only buy Ka-Bar from now on.

Great knife. Killed my first alligator last weekend with this blade. Extra sharp.
5.0 Rating GREAT KNIFE!!! - 11/8/2009KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: SQUATLOW
This is by far the best knife I have ever owned. Sturdy and well made. As others have stated, the straps are not necessary. They are only there as an extra safety feature for people like me with OCD (just kidding). The extra straps are for carrying the sheath in different positions, such as upside down on your chest or backpack, or sideways on the small of your back. In order to carry the sheath in these positions you have to use the slots molded into the sheath and attach it to straps on your vest or pack.
5.0 Rating The Ultimate Knife - 9/23/2009KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: EricCarr
This is the best knife I've ever owned. It's big enough to be a good utility knife and small enough for combat. The steel is durable and it's very well balanced, too. It feels really good in the hand, and with the Tanto blade I know I can pierce just about anything. I like the sheath, as well. The sheath is well-designed and secure, allowing you to safely run with the knife without even using the snap, which allows for lightning quick drawing.
5.0 Rating Excellent survival knife - 6/23/2009KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: smcdonaldaz
I bought mine because I knew the Ka-Bar name from my military days. Last February, while javelina hunting, I scored a huge boar a few miles from camp. This knife made quick work of a 5" diameter tree that lashed him to and drug him back. 8" may seem big, but the smaller blade in my situation would not have been nearly as effective. Buy USA, Ka-Bar!
5.0 Rating A knife for need - 2/9/2009KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: Anomadic1
Bought two of these; shipped one to one son in Iraq and the other to my other son in Afganistan. Sharpened the top edge before I sent them out. It really increases the "WOW" factor and my "troops" liked the increased utility/lethality. It's USA MADE, NOT CHEAP CHINESE JUNK! IT'S A KBAR FOLKS!!! THE NAME SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!
4.0 Rating Pretty Good - 2/3/2009KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty4.0000
Reviewer: Grizzly Bears
i got mine one day early. good knife. much longer in person. my only complaint so far is the straps on the sheath. you have to strap them pretty tight, which is kind of annoying. also, you don't need them as the knife locks into the sheath, and you can't remove them, so they end up dangling. the sheath is plastic or something synthetic, but it feels as solid and heavy as metal. also, i heard that it was adjustable so you could carry it in different positions, but it looks like you can only carry from the belt, unless you strap it to something
5.0 Rating kbar - 9/14/2008KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: Kevin
I bought this knife based on the K-bar reputation and I have not been disappointed. It is a great high quality knife. The only tiny complaint would be the sheath is about an inch longer than it has to be for this already long 8" inch blade. Other than that it is pretty much perfect.
5.0 Rating Best thing we sent to IRAQ - 10/9/2007KA-BAR 8" Partially Serrated Tanto Blade Fixed Knife Kraton G Handle Nylon Sheath Warranty5.0000
Reviewer: PATRIOT
Last year we sent (2) Ka-bar Tantos to our soldier friend stationed in Iraq with the Connecticut National Guard. He told us that the Kabars were the best thing we sent over , so I bought myself one too!
